About God, the Ocean & the Moon

Each night I look up to the sky

And see the Lord in every star

But for some reason, I know not why

I find him not in the moon afar

I see a face but he looks cold

Up in space the time he bides

Near the ocean rocks so old

Ever changing with the tides

God, for me, does not waver

Like the moon does every night

To me, God is my bless'd savior

An always constant shinning light

But, somehow, it's different now

The closest star seems distant

And though the sun will not allow

My moon turns to a crescent

I move quickly against the waves

Others come but I must go

Past all the people the Lord saves

If I'm one the sun will show

Its futile whispering prayers to the moon

The man speaks not to me

For the night is gone too soon

And then the moon must flee

I realize I am like that sphere

So weary, dark and low

And only when the sun is near

Am I allowed to glow

I revolve around the earth

As the earth goes round the sun

From the moment of my birth

And until my life is done

I'm not afraid of the sea anymore

With the current I am intune

As I wonder, on this distant shore,

About God, the ocean and the moon

Faded Friendships

Childhood friendships dwindle away so fast

Caught beneath the dead hand of the past

It fades like the photos on our shelves

With no one left to blame but ourselves



We didn't know what we'd had until it was gone

And it breaks my heart to see you so withdrawn

Did I ever tell you how sorry I feel?

And all of this, now, seems so unreal



I wish I had been a better friend

But I was too young to comprehend

The terror inside your mind and delve

Into the dark shadows, I was only twelve.



I look at you now and wish I had been there

Perhaps I could lift you from your despair

The loss of childhood, come too soon

As we slept beneath the cold, full moon



There's a wall between us that I can't tear down

So I can save you before you drown

In your thoughts so dreary and dark

By being the lantern; a distant spark.



Is there's nothing I can do for you now?

Lost friend, if there is please tell me how

Because I miss the way we used to be

When you would smile and hold hands with me



But those days are gone forever it seems

For you are haunted by your dreams

And I was too immature to understand

Instead of running I should've held your hand

These are the Good Old Days

These days nostalgia is lost on me

I live for now instead of what will be

Too happy to look back on yesterday

I wish we could stay forever this way

Such beautiful moments go by too fast

Seconds, minutes and hours slip past

Until all are gone; the day will end

Knowing tomorrow you'll still be my friend

Together up to the stars we gaze

Singing, "These are the good old days"



When I'm with you I'm never judged

I'm beside you when my makeups smudged

My hairs in a mess and my jeans are torn

Others look at me to frown and scorn

But you stand by and hold my hand

I can always count on you to understand

But the sand keeps falling in the hour glass

And what is now, too soon will pass

Years will speed by, leaving us in a daze

All the while singing, "These are the good old days"



The time of our parting draws on apace

So I'll smile with you and save your place

Forever if need be until you come home

From wherever it is you've chosen to roam

And though these tears may fall from my eyes

I always knew we'd have to say our goodbyes

I have no regrets though it hurts me so

To look back on so long ago

So one last time, under the sun's warm rays,

We'll be singing, "These are the good old days"

History Repeating

Like an echo from my past

You step through the door

Oh so eager to start again

To turn me into your whore

It's all been done before,

This emotional beating

That's just the game you like

To play; of history repeating



I've broken free from you before

By loosing your hold

And even in doing so

The thought has made me cold

I had learned to live with you

When all happiness is fleeting

And now your back to your

Old game; of history repeating



But now it's time to break the cycle

This cycle that�s breaking my heart

But now I see that the only time I'm happy

Is whenever we're apart

Because I'm sick of all the shit you pull

All the lying, threats and cheating

It looks like I won your

Stupid game; of history repeating

I Know Me

I'm so sick of us being like this

You feel nothing unless we kiss

You just stand there and bite your lip

What the hell is wrong with our relationship?

Screw the rhymes

Tetrameters bore me

I 'm just going tell you the truth

Because I'm tired of being someone else

I'm tired of lying to myself

And sorry for lying to you

The truth is I hate red roses

And to me violets seem purple

Isn't that why they call them violets

And as for sugar; it's not always sweet

Like me

I like to play dress up once-in-awhile

But these heels are killing me

And I never sit right in a skirt

While I'm at it I might as well

Come clean

I use unscented soup in the shower

Who likes the smell of papaya and kiwi anyway?

If it was up to me I�d cut my nails short

And throw out the polish

It's a pain in the ass to paint over chips

I guess you could call me humble

Because I'd rather be outside

Than in the mall

And I'm not the type of girl, who crushes on every guy

But you're special

I've never been the romantic type

But since I've met you

Love songs make sense

And I must admit; as embarrassing as it is

Each night I spray your brand of cologne

On my pillow

Because it reminds me of you

So look at me without the make-up

And my hair part wavy; part straight

Can you love me as I am?

I know it's unfair

To you and to me

For me to continue with this stupid fa�ade

I know that I love you

So I'm leaving the decision to you

Love me or break me

I know myself well enough to take the news

And continue on

No matter what the answer

Tell Me How You Feel

Why can't I just break though your walls?

And find out who you really are.

I wish you would give me one chance,

But you always said I wish too much.

If only you would you take the time

To drop those lies and let me see.

You've got me twisted but I don't why.

You're messing with my head

So I can't even trust myself anymore.

Please just tell me how you feel.

Though we may be holding hands,

I'm still left a distance from you heart.

Sometimes I think you say those lies

So much you started believing them too.

What if I turned the tables on you?

Would you be able to stay away?

I wonder if you know that you�re my life,

And without you I wither and die.

When we talk I feel like I'm drowning.

Before I can get a breath,

The wave crashes down again.

Only you can save me now.

Even a few words will suffice

Please just tell me how you feel.

He is of the Earth

He is of the earth

Just a seed at his birth

A pebble I watched grow

Into what I did not know

He might be a violet flower

Never wilting in a shower

He might be a rose

A beauty nature only shows

He might be a morning glory

For generations to tell the story

Whatever he is he is my own

and a Savior the world has never known
